the S II isn't thin in terms of performance, powered by a blisteringly quick 1.2 GHz dual-core processor. Operating on Android 2.3, along with the company's TouchWiz 4.0 user interface, the S II also sports a 4.27" (480 x 800) Super AMOLED Plus display, HSPA+ (21 Mbps download), Bluetooth 3.0, Wi-Fi 802.11n and Wi-Fi Direct as well as an 8 MP rear-facing snapper capable of full HD 1080p video recording. Expect it round-about mid-July.Take Samsung's super-slimm (8,49mm) Galaxy S ll.

E7 NOKIA
With E7 nokia again shows it excel a at hardware design.E7 has a lot in com-mon with N8,not the least the overall design concept.You find the same aluminum body,plastic end caps. and curved design language. It's a good-looking smartphone that feels high quality.
This handset combines all of Nokia's current strengths and weaknesses. Made from anodised aluminium, it's a well-constructed, chunky slider wich a full QWERTY.
Those elements have a reassuringly old-fashioned feel to them.
Giving less of a warm, nostalgic gIow are a 680 MHz processor that's noticeably slower than rivals, giving sluggish muIti-touch, and an operating system that feels archaic next to Android, iOS or WP7- Symbian is not a pleasure to use, and the range of apps at the Ovi Store remains of lower quality and quantity than at Android Market or the Apple App Srore.
The four-inch screen's resolution is only 64ox36o, so movies lack the detail of the Incredible S or iPhone 4. Being AMOLED, it does produce excellent contrast areas and off-angle viewing, however.
Nokia has kept the microUSB port, to which you can connect USB flash to access files from, another functionality inherited from the N8. This port is now abo the only way to charge the E7 since Nokia removed the classical 2mm charging plug.
The camera is a very respectable 8-megapixel, which also supports HD 720 recording.Although not as detailed and sharp as photos from E7 are still competitive with most other phones. The main difference is the lack autofocus in the E7 and the big lens and sensor in the N8, which makes photos and video stand out in terms of quality.
However with its other deficiencies,including a battery that needs charging every night, the E7 is hard ro recommend to anyone other than die-hard Nokia fans.

MOTOROLA ATRIX review
After blowing us away at CES, the Motorola Atrix gained the coveted top spot.First and foremost it's a powerful, dualcore smartphone. Add a series of docks, however.and it becomes a multimedia hub, or even a 11.6-inch laptop,You can also "transform" it into an alarm clock, but maybe that's not quite so cooL
Solid and well built, the Atrix runs Android 2,2 (Froyo) and exudes a restrained air of competence and power, a bit like a top-class bodyguard, It dresses all in black like one, too. The four-inch, 960x540 touchscreen is responsive, bright, with bold colours, There's less fine detail than on the iPhone 4, but the slightly larger size and very pure whites do go some way towards making up for that.
The dualcore processor means it never feels slow, You can quickly swap between open browser windows, maps, games and video playback without it batting an eyelid, At the moment there aren't rnany garnes or apps that make the most of the extra processing oomph, but that should change.
Another plus is Motorola's Motoblur, which adds very neat integration with your social networks, as well as some handy apps,
Doch the Atrix in the Lapdockor HDMI-connected Multimedia Dock, select the Webtop mode and things get seriously next-gen. On the bigger screen, app shortcuts are arranged along the bottom. You can also add bookmarks or web apps; settings are accessed in the top corner.
lf you prefer something more familiar, Mobile View displays a rnini version ofthe Atrix's home screen, There, you can click any app as normal and use phone features including calls - a pop-up box indicates an mcoming call and you get decent call quality through the mic.
SONY ERICSSON NEO PLAYER
Sony Ericsson rebounded frorn a run of mediocre releases at MWC with a fine trio of Android Gingerbread phones spearheaded by the Xperia Play, This features PSP Go-style, slide-out game controls and PlayStation Suite, which allows you to connect to the PlayStation Network and download games.Thefour-inchscreen,1GHz Snapdragon processor and Adreno GPU offer very respectable graphical chops,with Sony Ericsson claiming games will run at 60fps, What, all garnes? Elsewhere, the Xperia Pro takes on BlackBerry while the Neo boasts a cracking, eight-meg camera with Sony Exmor sensor.
Theres a lot to love about tne Xperia play. It's a chunky phone, but understandabIy so, as it has to accommodate not just a4-inch,480 x 854 screen, but aIso a sIide-our gamepad, and a battery that can fight through severaI hours of non-stop game time - five and a haIfhours, to be exact. The gamepad itself sIides our with very reassuring soIidity, and for the most part is brilliant. The tactile response is fantastic and nothing seems easily breakable
play is powerful enough to run those games-rest assured,it is has a lGHz processor with 380MB RAM, and we haven't found a game that lagged yet. We did, howcver, find that games had a tendency to crash some times, but the version of the software on our review device is not the final rectail version to be relcased in June, so hopefully some bugs just need ironing out.

GOOGLE NEXUS S
The first phone to ship with Android 2.3 (Gingerbread), the Nexus S unLocked is a joint effort of Samsung and Google. It offers gorgeous hard-ware and a powerful OS, but it lacks expandable memory and doesn't sup-port HSPA+.
We do like the hardware: the nexusS, is after all, a Samsung Galaxy S in slightly different chassis, and an LED flash added to the 5-megapixel camera The 480 x 800 Super AMOLED screen is lovely_highly sensitive,colourful and very bright indeed,we’re dubious about the benefits of its slightly concave screen,though-google says it’s more comfortable to hold to your face, but that’s a stretch, in
our opinion. And we were surprised to discover no facility to shot 720p video ,720 x 480 is as for as the Nexus S goes.
The new phone offers an irnproved software keyboard, NFC support, sup-port for multiple cameras in the camera UI, and better overall performance, it aIso sports a subtly curved 4-inch Super AMOLED display to fit comfortabLy next to your face.
The camera's user interface has a nice variety of options,including autofo-cus, macro and infinity modes, four reso-lutions, nine scene settings, three color modes, three quality modes, and expo-sure metering, You also get a front-fac-ing VGA camera.
the Nexus S doesn't have a microSD slot. The device has 512MB of RAM and is capped at 16GB of internal memory.
